The cost of living continues to in crease, and the price of necessities has gone skyward by such leaps and bounds that a fellow has to pause occasionally and look about, to make ture that he is not in a trance from which he will awaken t find things as they "used to be.:' With tbe constantly advancing p ices, on" is constrained to put the old question of th pessimist, but in a uew form, "Is life worth theliving?" There are two classes of people that will kill any sort of a busings establishment in a mighty short, time lovers and loafer-. Very few people care to interiupt a hon eyed tete-a-tete in order to get at tention it is easier to go elsewher to buy your goods; reither does one caie to crcwd and jostle past naif a dozen loafers to get to ti e counter tube waited upon. Either class means certain death to trade. The Independent telephone pa trons have been wondering why, in calling for a Dumber, they s? often of late got response from tbe wrong party, and it is we'll to explain that tfi the condition is due to tbe changes that are being made in the system just now.

The sight of men and wo men lying at full length upon the floor and muttering unintelligible gibberish seemed to the outside observer senseless n the extreme, and almost pitiful. While those ''under the power" were talking in the "tongues," their whole body would be convulsed with tremblings of a ner vous character. During the meeting the worshipers locked the door to keep disturbers away.
